Travel is one of my great loves. The buildings and street scenes in towns and villages intrigue me and give me a jumping-off point to use bright colors and add my own touches to enhance the composition. My latest series is from trips to Chile. ​From rolling hills and jagged mountain peaks to tilled fields and river banks and streams, to venerable old-growth forests in all seasons, the land is ever changing. Broad vistas, intimate glens, rock formations and brightly flowered meadows are all sources for my paintings.
